Like many Americans, Gov. Jared Polis has been intrigued lately by the promise of plant-based meat alternatives from companies such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods.

He is not alone. A few weeks back, it was news you might be able to use when the Herald conducted a taste test of Burger King’s Impossible Whopper upon its debut nationwide (and in Durango).

We can all agree, for a variety of reasons, that this fake meat thing has real promise for the health of humans (and other animals), and for the environment – not to mention the climate, which is not looking so good lately.

No one is forcing anyone to eat plant-based meat. Yet.

But that does not mean it is going down well with some Colorado ranchers and farmers.
